“Standup has opened so many doors and created so many avenues for people to enjoy the water. Personally, it has taken me from Peru to Manhattan and Utah. I have met so many people along the way, people that I’ve seen in surf magazines. People of legendary status. The sport has allowed me to help raise money and awareness for humanitarian causes as well, (24 hour paddle for Love 146). I thank the sport and I thank all of you.”
